The second of two men who escaped a Philadelphia jail last week has been captured, police say

The second of the two men who escaped from a Philadelphia jail last week was captured Wednesday, and at least three people have now been charged with their escape, according to authorities.

Ameen Hurst, 18, was taken into custody without incident in southwest Philadelphia, the city's police commissioner, Danielle Outlaw, said in a tweet. He was stopped by US marshals Wednesday morning after getting into a vehicle with his mother and brother, and marshals arrested his brother, according to authorities. The brother's charges have not been made public yet.

"I'm very relieved and grateful that this incident has reached resolution," said Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney in brief remarks.

Hurst was being held on charges related to four homicides dating back to Christmas 2020.

Hurst and Nasir Grant, 24, escaped the Philadelphia Industrial Correctional Facility through a hole in a recreation yard fence that had been "deliberately cut" on May 7, according to the Philadelphia Department of Prisons. The men had been missing for nearly a full day before the facility's staff noticed.

The US Marshals and the Philadelphia Police Department described the men as "armed and dangerous" and launched a manhunt for their whereabouts.

Grant, who had been in custody on narcotics and gun violations, was captured last week by the US Marshals Service in the Strawberry Mansion neighborhood of Philadelphia.
